in deferrlng the opportunity until after

Mr.. McCreary's resolution, requiring
general appropriation oils to be reported
to the House by committees within sixty
days after their app0n ment during a
long session, will be speedily and favora-
bly, reported by the committee on rules,
may consume the time of the House for q
day Or two. There is also talk Of an az
gressive movement by the friends of some
OF the House officials, recently disOhsrg
ed, which may enliven proceedings during
the latter part of the week.
